ARTWORK NAME: OUR ELDERS ARE OUR LEADERS

ARTWORK STORY
The Yakan's in my culture connect to the storyline's of my Boodjah. This is a contemporary piece reflecting the Importance of our Elders in community. The two larger turtles are the Elders guiding, protecting and teaching the smaller turtles who are the Kiolangarahs.
The circles are the spirit of their ancestors celebrating the healing that comes from the work being done through this journey.

I am a Menang/Gnudju artist born and raised on Noongar boodjah (land) I am located in south west of Australia and currently reside in Albany WA. I have been painting for about 2 years now. I paint contemporary styles using my cultural knowledge to educate and share stories. I use art as a platform to advocate about issues I am passionate about.
My family has suffered from government policies so I want to raise awareness around the issues my mob face today due to inter generational trauma. I also hope to inspire other mob to paint and embrace their culture as it is vital for us to have a cultural identity in our communities.
Painting has brought so many positive opportunities into my life and I hope through my art everyone can learn something to watch my journey follow me on Instagram @kwaboriginalartist or Facebook @Kiya Watt- Aborginal artist
